Retired engineer and human being who knows war crimes and crimes against humanity when he sees them, and who detests such crimes when his own government not only supports them, but supports them with MY tax dollars! The pleasures in my life are my wife and son, family and friends, and keeping my mind and body as active, through reading and cycling respectively, as my years will allow. I view history as a great teacher. Few injustices against humanity escape my attention, thanks to intelligent use of the internet and intelligent ignoring of what the mass media would have me believe. Unfortunately, what I learn about our nation and our world every day teaches me more every day about the injustices against not only the world's criminalized and brutalized ethnic groups but against as, the American people, and much of this is being done by people who are supposedly acting in our name!
